Текст и перевод песни Anita Macuacua - Tio João

Tio João

Tio João é muito complicado
Tio João é muito complicado
A filha quer se casar, com um moço de respeito
Ele diz que ela não pode casar

Mas o moço é trabalhador
Gosta dela de verdade
Ele diz que ela não pode casar

Já lhe compraram o fato (ele diz que não gostou)
Já lhe compraram bengala (ele diz que não é velho)
Já lhe compraram sapatos (diz que não gosta da sola)
Já lhe compraram o boi, (ele diz que o boi é magro)

Ele diz que o boi é magro, uhm, uhm
Tio João está a exagerar

Eh Tio João, u lava hine tio João
Eh Tio João, kassi intlhwine tio João
Eh Tio João, u lava hine tio João
Eh Tio João, kassi intlhwine tio João

Já lhe compraram o fato (ele diz que não gostou)
Já lhe compraram bengala (ele diz que não é velho)
Já lhe compraram sapatos (diz que não gosta da sola)
Já lhe compraram o boi, (ele diz que o boi é magro)
Ele diz que o boi é magro

Kassi tio João awu mutxike nwanaku mutxada
Kassi tio João ku entxeka hine la ni kaya
Kassi tio João awu mutxike nwanaku wa txada
Ni tlhamule hola ku txada na yena khé?

Eh Tio João, u lava hine tio João
Eh Tio João, kassi intlhwine tio João
Eh Tio João, u lava hine tio João
Eh Tio João, kassi intlhwine tio João

Eh Tio João, u lava hine tio João
Eh Tio João, kassi intlhwine tio João
Eh Tio João, u lava hine tio João
Eh Tio João, kassi intlhwine tio João

Uncle John

Uncle John is very complicated
Uncle John is very complicated
His daughter wants to get married, to a respectable young man
He says she cannot marry

But the young man is a hard worker
He truly loves her
He says she cannot marry

They have already bought her a dress (he says he doesn't like it)
They have already bought her a cane (he says he is not old)
They have already bought her shoes (he says he doesn't like the soles)
They have already bought him an ox, (he says the ox is too thin)

He says the ox is too thin, uhm, uhm
Uncle John is exaggerating

Hey Uncle John, you are being stubborn Uncle John
Hey Uncle John, give your assent Uncle John
Hey Uncle John, you are being stubborn Uncle John
Hey Uncle John, give your assent Uncle John

They have already bought her a dress (he says he doesn't like it)
They have already bought her a cane (he says he is not old)
They have already bought her shoes (he says he doesn't like the soles)
They have already bought him an ox, (he says the ox is too thin)
He says the ox is too thin

Give your assent Uncle John, you are a great-great-grandfather
Give your assent Uncle John, your homestead is filled with people
Give your assent Uncle John, you are a great-great-grandfather
Why are you keeping people from getting married?

Hey Uncle John, you are being stubborn Uncle John
Hey Uncle John, give your assent Uncle John
Hey Uncle John, you are being stubborn Uncle John
Hey Uncle John, give your assent Uncle John

Hey Uncle John, you are being stubborn Uncle John
Hey Uncle John, give your assent Uncle John
Hey Uncle John, you are being stubborn Uncle John
Hey Uncle John, give your assent Uncle John
